Force an animation frame

Pixelthief · July 14, 2011 at 12:17 AM

Is there any way to force an animation frame on an animation and have it still playing? Ie, skip to frame X of the animation, where it would still continue playing normally. I have an effect that generates hundreds of objects playing the same animation simultaneously, and it would be nice to set them to start at a random point on the animation. I have some workarounds I could use, but if i'm overlooking some feature it would be nice to know

(force animation frame pauses the animation, and when you restore it, it starts from the beginning)

I've never been able to find a way.
It would make a lot more sense if that was how it did work - since it would still be very easy to reset the animation frame on every loop, if that's what you wanted to do.

Err, no? It continues the animation from the current frame. I do this all the time and have no problem with it. Please login to see this link..

LB: I don't have to insert a "restore animation sequence" action to do that. Is there any particular reason that you do it?

I did it because I had the same problem in an older version of MMF2 from a couple of years ago. The problem seems fixed now.
